What Is Murphy Bed?
Q: What Is Murphy Bed?
A: Murphy bed (AKA Folding bed) The original Murphy Bed was invented by William L Murphy (this term is now used for any folding bed which can be stored in a cupboard). Murphy actually got his first patent for a folding bed in 1900, and in the same year he set up the "Murphy Door Bed Company". But the bed that most people think of when they think of a Murphy Bed is the "pivot bed", with he invented in 1918, and which pivoted into the doorway of a bedroom cupbiard. Murphy went on to invent further space-saving furniture.
Most murphy beds pull out of the wall vertically. Several of the older apartments I have lived in had murphy beds. I liked them. One apartment had a drawer bed. There was a built in china cabinet or hutch type thing, that you pulled the bed out of, like a drawer. When the bed was put away, it fit under the raised floor of the walk in closet.
